One of the things people don't realize about floods -- I certainly didn't -- is that your furniture floats. Imagine your refrigerator, your sofa, your dining room table, your bookcases, all floating around, spinning madly because they are not designed to float, as you try to get out of your house.

My friend in NO was nearly crushed by his own refrigerator.

On the up side, the ice chest he had filled with emergency food and water floated, too.

You know, I think to judge people who went through experiences like that and lost their self control is pretty damned cold.
